The "Cheers Bears" have arrived!!!! These adorable little cuddly toys were lovingly created as a keepsake "gift" to thank our donors for their contributions to assist with purchasing much needed food. Each limited edition bear is custom made and personalized with the donor's name, the name of one of the children as well their age. There are a total of 4 sets of 32 and the first batch is completely gone!!!
This week, my daughter and I visited the office of Dr Montague to deliver some of the "care bears” to his staff who donated as a group. The office manager told me afterwards to say that her two sons approached her after reading about the orphans and indicated that they wanted to each donate their weekly allowance of $5 to be put towards feeding one of the kids. I was deeply touched to see children helping other children, less fortunate than themselves. $5.00 will pay for all the meals of a child for an entire week. Now two kids will not go hungry this month.
We have currently raised $650...just $150 shy of our target. We anticipate a couple payments on the weekend and hope to be back on track by Monday.
